Merkaela (all natural health & beauty) Review + Coupon Spring 2017

Merkaela is an all natural health and beauty box focused on making wellness and tranquility easy to experience. Boxes are Seasonal and contain handmade health, wellness, and beauty items. Merkaela isn’t your typical health and wellness box; boxes contain affirmations and inspiring quotes to really get each season off to a positive start.

Spring’s box was all about Blooming, thriving, and finding happiness from the inside. I really loved their short “in the box” section on their info card which included affirmations and almost a mini guided meditation.

Cost: $58 per box or $224 for the quarterly 1 year subscription

Merkaela has a vegan box option as well for the same price point.

What’s Inside:

Info Card – As mentioned before, I really love Merkaela’s “In the Box” section on the left. Tehy really captured their mission with this box and it put me in a very open and excited mindset yo get into the box. Merkaela lists info on each item including ingredients and how to use them. It’s also really neat that there’s a playlist included on the bottom right! I actually have it open as I write this and it is very light, bright, and uplifting – perfect for their Spring “bloom” box!

Lavender & Rose Shea Body Butter – I really truly love that all of Merkaela’s items are all natural and hand made! I make some of by beauty products myself, so I am all for these! This Body Butter has a nice light scent, and the texture is amazing! It’s really thick and really nourishes the skin.

Rosemary Lavender Meditation Elixir – I haven’t quite gotten into meditation, but I did use this for my yoga practice. I sprayed it around the room/my mat, and it definitely did bring relaxation to the front of my mind.

Rose Divine Bath – Okay, seriously how pretty is this?!? It smells as good as it looks and I can’t wait to use it! We don’t have a great bath tub so I’m actually holding on to this to bring on our next weekend getaway.

Palo Santo Smudge Stick – No, this isn’t just a random piece of wood, it is natural purifier when burned. It is said to clear away bad energies and spirits, and regardless of your beliefs, it really does smell nice and does seem to purify the air! This piece is small (only about 3 inches long) but it will last a long time! To use, ignite the stick, let it burn for about 30 seconds, then blow it out and walk around your desired space using the smoke to purify the air.

Jasmine Secret Garden Tea – This smells nothing short of divine. The flavor of the tea was good as well, but the scent is seriously incredible! The Jasmine carries hints of vanilla. I purposefully kept some leaves back from the tea just because they smelled so good!

Green Aventurine Triangle Pendant – This stone is known as “the stone of opportunity” and is said to bring good fortune. How could it not, it is so beautiful! It’s really versatile too. This would look great on a simple chain but would also look really neat with some sort of colored thread look. Also, I just have to say that their packaging is to die for! Everything about this box was incredibly intentional.

Lemongrass Castile Soap – This soap is nice and light and great for spring. I definitely felt clean, but it didn’t leave any sort of residue. I’m also hearing lemongrass is a natural mosquito repellant, so I’m hopeful it will deter them a bit too this summer!

Conclusion: This was my first box from Merkaela and I am very impressed! I completely love that the products are all natural and hand made, and the quality seems to be top notch. $58 / box may seem high at first glance, but after trying out a box, it really does seem like an exceptional value! This box definitely had me feeling pampered and nourished both inside and out.
